Drake Says He Views Kanye West As Competition

Drake's album Take Care drops on November 15th and he has been hitting the interview circuit pretty heavy. Recently he sat down with VIBE and has some pretty interesting things to say about how he views Kanye West as his competition.

“When I was a kid trying to figure out what I liked, it was [Kanye] who I related to the most. He was an artist in every sense, from his cover art to his music. Now, I would say he was a really great competitor….," he tells The Source in the magazine's latest issue. As he said before, "I'm just feeling like the throne is for the taking / Watch me take it."

He recently told MTV News: “I used to stare at this world through a glass window and, like, two to three years later, I became king in that world.” Drake explained. “That’s who’s sitting on that album cover, that kid that’s just somehow gone from his mom’s basement in Toronto to becoming a king. That’s what the album cover is about and there is a lot of deep thought involved in that ‘cause you can go crazy doing this.”

Pretty bold statement but Hip Hop is about competition.
